The Sunday Post #36

The Sunday Post #36 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. This week has been a little slower than the prior weeks, which is so nice! I have only had to meet with my students to hand back their final exam. Most of them were quite happy, and all of them passed English this year – even if they may not have passed all the other subjects they had. Some of the boys even had a little ‘thank you teacher’ […]

The Sunday Post #35 – Music Week

The Sunday Post #35 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. Even without having to work this week, it was still quite busy, with meetings both during the day, and in the evening. That’s what I get for always agreeing to take part in different commissions. At the same time, I do enjoy being in on the decision-making, but I am definitely stepping down from a few for the next academic year. I also finally got the new battery for […]

The Sunday Post #34 – Grading Time

The Sunday Post #34 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. Since I wasn’t teaching this week, I had time to catch up with some friends both for lunch and dinner, and it was really nice to see some people I haven’t seen in a while. Also, on Tuesday, it was my 20th anniversary since marrying my husband so we went out on a date 🙂 My blogoversary has come and go without me really realizing it… I think I’ll […]

2015 Challenge Updates #5

2015 Challenge Updates #5

It’s the end of another month, and so it’s time to share my challenge updates and see how I’m doing so far. For the most time, I have to say I’m doing pretty well, but I do need to get better in some cases.  2015 New Release Challenge This is a challenge I’m pretty much rocking – thanks to the fact that I have received and read many e-galleys from both Netgalley and Edelweiss. Here’s a list of New Releases I read and reviewed in May: Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury Review: With a Twist – Sawyer Bennett Review: Can’t Resist a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly Review: Nowhere […]

The Sunday Post #33 Short Week + End of Classes

The Sunday Post #33 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. This week was a short week, because we had Monday off for Pentecost, and it was my last week of teaching classes, as from next week on my students will be in final exam mode. It was also my last week of taking classes, and I was scrambling a bit on Sunday and Monday to be able to hand in my final papers for my MA classes. It’s all […]

The Sunday Post #32 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. I arrived back from Dallas and an intense and fun week at RT15 on Monday evening. It’s taken me more or less the whole week to feel like I’m in the right time zone, I’m just so tired! Especially because I had to go to work on Tuesday morning… luckily my students were happy to see me again, and they were very nice, quiet and hard-working. This week’s posts: […]

#RT15 Wrap-up Post

#RT15 Wrap-up Post

As most of you know, last week, I was away in Dallas for my first ever book convention, RT15, and I had so much fun! I met many authors I enjoy, and some bloggers I truly love. I feel like I have convention hangover now, both because it was a pretty intense week, and because of the jetlag… I arrived home last night, and had to work this morning – but it’s all good 🙂 RT15 Wrap-up – the bloggers                       I finally got to meet some of my fellow bloggers, and that was possibly what I loved the most about RT! Brandee @ Bookworm Brandee and I shared a […]

The Sunday Post #31 – Ready for Take-off!

The Sunday Post #31 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. This week has been pretty long, it feels like, and very busy, too! At the beginning of the week, with all the rain we had, plus snow melting in the Alps, several rivers in Geneva flooded, and many bridges had to be closed. Luckily, I don’t live close to any rivers, but it was really bad how much water we had there, good thing it’s sunny again, even if […]

It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. It’s a long week-end here, and it’s only my youngest daughter and me at home – which means walks, sushi and lots of hugging. Also, on Friday, we went to see Tinker Bell and the Legend of Never Beast, which we both enjoyed!  My oldest daughter and her boyfriend went to Norway for the weekend to spend some time with my mom and my sister. My husband and my […]

2015 Challenges – Update #4

2015 Challenges Update Post #4 Another month is coming to an end, and so it’s time to update those challenges I’m participating in for 2015. I am doing pretty well on all my challenges, apart from the audiobook challenge *sighs*. I will do better, and am having a great time with the book I’m listening to right now. The 2015 New Release Challenge is hosted by myself and Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews Oh My! as the challenge title suggests, this one is for books released during 2015 only, and the books counting towards the challenge have to be read and reviewed during the year as well.
